Default prop turned grey

Hello all, Just got back from they keys, left my boat in the water for three days. When I took it out the prop was grey and and felt very rough. It was a brand new Bravo 1 ss when i put it in the water on Friday. Any help would be great

Spray it with some CLR or Sno Bowl toilet cleaner.

Calcium / mineral build up.
Some waters are worse.
Some marinas (shore power) are worse.

Clean like Griff said (fresh water afterwards)
Or we can clean and do a real balance for you...........

Some ON OFF bottom cleaner or muratic acid and it will look like new in seconds. Just give it a good rinse after.
